Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion

Professor Arnold Hill:

It can always be improved. The test to screen for prostate cancer is more tolerable as it is a blood test. The management of that, with the rapid access clinics, has resulted in significant improvements. We try to triage in and identify those who need to be seen early and get them treated. The whole area of prostate cancer has changed rapidly over the last five years. The surgery is robotic and is very sophisticated now.. Early detection and treatment with surgery can be very effective.
